The Orange Foundation donates £3k toward Cancer Help counselling service  

The Orange Foundation, established in tribute to Emma Aindow Gregory, who died from bowel cancer, has provided financial support to CancerHelp to deliver counselling or talking therapies. 

The initial contribution of £3,000 will help Preston-based CancerHelp to deliver adult counselling and psychotherapy services to those affected by cancer, whether they have a cancer diagnosis, are caring for a cancer patient or have been bereaved due to cancer.

The funds will provide a complete programme of eight counselling sessions to eight people.

The Orange Foundation’s founder and Emma’s husband, Michael Gregory, said:

“Talking therapies are vital. Emma benefitted from the service CancerHelp provided while living with the disease.

“I also realised the importance of counselling, and I can’t stress enough how essential it is that anyone who is going through tough times should access the support provided by CancerHelp. 

“This is the start of a long and powerful relationship with CancerHelp as we can work together to deliver practical support to people living with cancer.”

The service is free of charge, and people needing support will be offered up to eight counselling sessions, which will usually occur weekly or every two weeks, depending upon need and availability. 

Jeanette Smalley, CancerHelp’s general manager, added: 

“We’re grateful for the support from The Orange Foundation and look forward to collaborating with them in helping people live with cancer. 

“Our counselling sessions are delivered by qualified therapists with many years of experience. They will provide people with a gentle, professional, compassionate experience during some of the most difficult times. We’re here ready to help.”
